I mean they literally cut the footage of the last couple of laps to make it look like Norris didn‘t exist and only the Merc‘s were battling Sainz. That‘s why you always skip the race scenes in DTS and just watch the paddock and behind the scenes stuff which can be interesting.
Literally the only episode that was about a race win was Carlos Singapore run. I know max doesn’t comply with the show so it was a bit expected but this way of displaying the sport is just pathetic. Didn’t even throw in Oscars sprint win. Sport seems to be about other things than winning.
@Dyils The situation of Perez failing so hard under pressure and Max completely crushing him could've actually been a great storyline on the show. And it would've also given them the chance to highlight Max's amazing achievements in the process. So I don't really agree with you on this. Edit: they could've even tied Daniel in there with going to AT, being another factor of pressure for Checo.
It was the best thing ever. Unfortunately it was so good it got me obsessed with the sport so I had to start watching races live. And now the show is bad.

I only got through like 6 or 7 episodes, but I can't believe they didn't say anything during the McLaren episode about Piastri getting pole and winning the sprint race in Qatar, or pretty much anything after Silverstone for them when they had a lot of good races at the end of the season. They basically just showed them being terrible for the first half of the season, then showed Silverstone with them finishing 2nd and 4th, and that's it.

What you won't see in the last season #DriveToSurvive 1. Perez and his tragic season, his place at Red Bull is in danger 2. Piastri and his sprint win 3. Alonso, Perez fight at the finish in Brazil 4. Race in Texas and disqualification of Lewis, Charles 5. Leclerc and his elimination from the Brazilian GP 6. How Sainz helped Lando maintain DRS in Singapore 7. Drivers in Qatar have problems with the heat 8. Collision between Mercedes drivers 9. Pole position for Lewis 10. Max Verstappen winning virtually everything
What annoyed me the most was they made it seem like Singapore was Liams debut race and like Zandvoort was the first race Daniel was back at. I get why they did it “for the story” but it drove me up the wall. Was a few other things they did that were similar but that was the worst for me
Not talking about Qatar at all, whether it’s Max clinching the title, Oscar “winning” before Lando, the Mercedes colliding on lap 1 or the extreme heat conditions was an absolute travesty. For how often the “fighter pilot mentality” is brought up, not bringing up Ocon throwing up, Lance basically collapsing on an ambulance or Sargent retiring on his own was odd. Almost forgot. Ocon nearly lawnmower-ing people in the pitlane in Baku was a perfect opportunity to talk about safety.
Netflix is not there for every race. That race would make a nice drama, but clearly they weren't there. Same like Brazil 2022 and 2023 which they definitely would definitely put if they were on the spot...normally they pick just a few races and that's why they keep on going back to those or using the f1 archives 😅
Writing this before the video, I’m glad y’all made this video because I’m so mad about how dirty they did Yuki. They made it look like he didn’t beat any of his teammates when he beat them all, and said that the reason that he stayed was politics LMAO
don't know about Lawson Yuki beat him in 1 out of the 5 and yuki got crashed out in 1of the races and DNS on another, and he beat Ricciardo 4-3 and he scored 17 out of the 25 points for his team that season with 15 of them was whilst Lawson and Ricciardo were in the other car.
I would prefer them to build up stories throughout the season. The first episode: car launches, testing, Bahrain, where they would start to build the stories for each team. Depending on what’s happening, they should grab onto each story and tell it further until the end of the season. This would have a natural flow while filming, still following the team's journey along the way
They kinda did thought. They took the biggest stories of the season and ordered them chronologically. Like 1st aston being good, McLaren struggling, and so on till the ferrari vs Mercedes fight at the end of the season
What I found hilarious was when they used onboard car footage (of the camera facing the driver) from Bahrain, in the last episode where they covered Ferrari’s and Merc’s championship battle in Abi Dhabi. What they basically did was jump from the very end of the season to the very start.
I actually liked the Guenther episode because of how they tied it into Williams. It was interesting to see the 2 different styles of team bosses with one moving up the grid and the other staying at rock bottom
Guenther doesn't have sponsors and the money. Williams has backing right now and their new team principle was making upgrades to the car to make faster. Late in the season the straight line speed of Williams were shocking some the other drivers.
Respect for avoiding rumor-mongering. Talking about a topic under investigation with minimal details is 95% filler and speculations from people who cover it.
I wish that instead of doing an episode about Haas and Williams who weren’t even really fighting at the end of the year that they would have done the episode on the fight for P7 and shown how close it was near the end
I liked that episode actually. I really liked they showed the different leadership styles of Steiner and Vowles. For me it was one of the beter episodes.
While people might not like him, RocketPoweredMohawk showed that there was definite storyline to be made out of the RB year. The contrast between Perez's struggles and Verstappen's success is too staggering to not go into. Also, saying that one of the most successful seasons ever by a driver is not DTS episode worthy is a bit much. Like I get the point and agree that you don't want it to be a season recap, but that would be the case if were talking about something like the 2022 season where, yes, Verstappen was great, but not to the extent of winning a historic 19/22 races in a season.
I think Netflix knew, us non RB fans were over the Max domination already. But also, like they said, There wasn't really a Arche. People love a underdog, rags to riches, old dog rising out of the ashes, story line. Unfortunately with Max, there is non of that. Just like in the Lewis years, no one would've like to see an episode of him dominating.
Ryan Reynolds told Netflix that from now on drive to survive seasons should have atleast 2 episodes of alpine story cause it's my team and my childrens like to watch it.
I agree with Matt. It's good, when you love watching every bit of F1 content. But I personally hoped for more. My main issue with DTS is, that it has a great potentional, but o lot of this potentional is just wasted. For example I got really pissed of when race engineer said to a driver "gap 1.5 behind" and there's a rear wing camera of a car being like 0,4s behind, or there were some weird radios during quali. I mean.. I'm not a driver, but I don't think a race engineer talks to his driver every corner of a quali lap. A lot of things like that can really annoy F1 fans. They have all this footage, driver radios and all this amazing stuff, but they often ruin it by trying to overdramatize everything. 6.5/10, once again a lot of wasted potentional unfortunatelly.
Still can’t believe they didn’t do anything with Qatar or Oscar getting his first sprint win before lando got a win, Charles and Hamilton DQ, and the Monaco Quali. They showed Monaco in 3 different episodes and they didn’t even show the best quali of the season. They had the perfect opportunity with the Aston Martin episode
Thank you so much for weighing in on something that needs evidence before commenting on it... I remember now why I followed you 2 all these years... ou have no idea what that means to some people living in a world where everyone automatically assumes the worst these days.... GENUINENLY thank you Thomas and Matthew
One thing I noticed was that they showed that Perez finished P4 BEHIND Russell at the finish line in Abu Dhabi whereas he actually finished P2 and fell back to P4 after a penalty
The moment i was shocked i didnt see was in the episode about Alpine and Pierre and Esteban where they didnt show the clip of Pierre raging in Japan. I fully expected to see them shove that in for a story
my favourite bit was when alex and logan were in the car and alex was describing how netflix was going to edit danny ric's return and logan was laughing at him THAT WAS A GEM OF A MOMENT
Guenter in Montreal isn’t even in Montreal pit lane when he’s frustrated with hulk falling down the field. It pans back to GS Look carefully at the pit lane it’s Zandvoort with the sharp right turn exit hahahha
The only thing I would add is that dts brought in loads of new fans. So dts probably took a decision at some point to make it more about capturing new fans than creating extra content enjoyable for hardcore fans.
I actually really enjoyed this season. The episodes almost always showed the most important/dramatic race(s) for the teams, which was not the case in the past years. Also the season itself was a snoozefest, so all in all I consider this season a great success, much better than the actual races.
Really surprised there was basically nothing about Perez’s and Stroll’s struggles. Also can’t believe there’s no episode about Max dominating. Either one would have been better than a second Alpine episode.
Carlos Sainz’s win in a whole of Max domination. Or just some bit of more max in general. - I mean talk about Singapore.. they (redbull) seemed literally frustrated .. even though they had a whole clean sweep the last of the year. That was the only pivotal moment that I really missed in DTS..
I think the thing with Alpine is that they are sponsored/owned/however by a bunch of famous people& Ryan Reynolds, and RR is kind of tight with Netflix, so that might have been a reason, to give the team some pr...
For me the lack of Red Bull (driver) content was annoying. It's like they mostly ignored the fact that Red Bull was doing something historic till the end. I agree its better that they have gone back to this format. However i do love the old BBC year in review programs and of course what Floz has done with SIlver wars. But i guess you need a competitive race season to do things like this and make it watchable.
I'm surprised they didn't make more out of the Mercedes battling through the season and Lewis finally hitting George in Qatar, especially given that they made such a big deal of the Alpine 'civil war'. I feel like that could have replaced maybe the second Alpine episode, but I'm also glad they didn't over exaggerate things so...?
Guessing Lewis, George and Toto were asked but didnt give the answers Netflix could create something of. Ocon and Gasly were pretty open about their rivalry.
Despite not having an episode about checo... I felt the few minutes of Checo and De vyres chatting at Monaco about struggling was peak DTS. sounded like a causual chat that is so intense due to the background context
Matt‘s opening comments are so relatable lol I don’t love DTS but I love F1 so I’m going to watch it anyways. Also massive respect to you guys on the Horner issue. Too many people out there wanting horrible things to be true just because they dislike someone. kudos boys.
@@ecstasyecs Whats weird is they did it for Steiner not getting a renewal, very odd tbh. I guess itl be in DTS7, I wonder if they will even try and cover all the off season shit.
The problem is that they didn't have a RB episode. It could have focused 60% on Checo and his stress, and compare it to Max's record breaking success. There was/is an obvious episode to make from all that.
10:00 the reason this doesn't really bother me is that sometimes when that stuff happens i don't see it as them trying to make it look like russell is complaining before the first corner, the race start is just like b-roll for the voice over. and then when it comes to the actually important visuals like overtakes they are usually correct
I agreed with yall on - Perez story line should have been included big time What i disagree is - I enjoyed the first Alpine ep, second one gets kinda boring tho
I just watched the first episode and it was outstanding. One of the best audio video content I have ever seen. 44 minutes of looking behind the curtain of the mega rich and hyper competitive. 10/10 I have seen every race since the start of 1984 season and worked at the Australian Grand Prix. To those who are not already F1 fans, I can't think of a better introduction to the pinnacle of competitive human endeavour in all facets.
I got into F1 in 2022 when I walked downstairs and my roommate was watching a race. Supplemented with this channel I got into quick without ever hearing about DTS
Can we Hide? Max in Vegas. He did not have to ask because drivetosurvive did not show HIM anyway. I liked this remark because it was about True feelings,.
I agree with a lot of it and also talking about the Zak Brown / Lando golf situ. it might have been slightly scripted or performative but they both go golf together very regularly so it was nice to see that side of their relationship. I also didn't know how far their relationship goes that far back either!
The wildest part of the editing for me was the diary cams of Charles talking about finally getting to the end of the season and they showed clips of Charles in the mountains… in the winter break BEFORE the start of the season 😂
Lawrence clearly paid for EP 1, they tried to make lance look like a superhero. They still wanna try and make Norris an A-hole. where was Piastris Win in the sprint? Etc etc
shits thats missing - fernando alonso - the entirety of brazil interlagos - oscar piastri's first win (sprint race) - alpine losing oscar piastri to mclaren (post trade feels) - carlos's strat for helping lando norris in SG - whole qatar race and the insane 42 degrees heat (+ lance stroll shoving his trainer) - max verstappen breaking records - sergio perez struggles - fk you max miami gp what was useless - we didnt need to know how richy rich AMR are that was already said in prev seasons - danica stewart - alpine in general lol
The story they missed that is kind of similar to Checo's struggles was Lance choking. The had the whole 'Lance diving in pain, what hero' but ignored Lance being a total failure the rest of the season. They had the whole 'Aston Martin v Mclaren for 4th place' and didn't even mention AM dropping to 5th because Lance was rubbish and it was literally Fernando v Mclaren. Other than Logan and Zhou you could have put any other driver in the second Aston seat and they'd have finished 4th easy. Lance was by far the biggest bust/under performer of the season. Is daddy Stroll such a hen that they were worried about putting his little boy in a bad light and making him mad?
I was definitely expecting a lot more Oscar. Astonishing rookie season, we know he’ll be around for a while so could have been a great story to follow from the start, and SPRINT WIN!! And he’s super popular with fans. Hopefully next season.
Fun Fact about Danica Patrick: She openly claims she is not a car person, she has made it clear she knows nothing about engines or car designs nor cares about them.
I think it was perfectly fine. It gave me exactly what I was expecting. Would there be stories I would have included they didn't? Yep. But that's fine ETA: I think covering Perez's story would have been difficult because the most criticism was from his own team when they're having such a dominant year. It makes RBR seem ridiculous to casual fans. Plus i think they're saving it for the upcoming season
I'm just about to watch s6 now. I felt very very deflated last year after watching s5 and they left it all the most exciting bits in that season. Thanks for the heads up with s6. I'm not expecting much from it but must get through it before next weekend - like a school project looming over me needing to get done so I can relax afterwards.
The DRS strat from Carlos and the whole Qatar weekend are the 2 things i missed from this season of DTS. I don't really understand why they didn't include those, considering they were huge talking points.
The "overtake available" thing is also nearly 1 to 1 translated in other languages in the subtitles, so they give no emphasis on what's actually being said. In Norwegian, it's literally translated to "you can now overtake". Only when the engineer says "overtake button is available" it makes sense what's meant in English as well as the subtitles. I had to explain this to my parents watching along and they had no idea it was referring to a button and not the engineer telling the driver that they can overtake now, like they couldn't try to before.
Best part for me was Alex predicting the Ricciardo episode.
Absolute Gold
That was epic. I was thinking Netflix can just fire the writers and ask Albon to give his thoughts
That was perfect and he should get a directing credit.
Absolutely hilarious.
I was shocked they didn't mention Carlos's genius keeping Norris in his tow to get the win!
yeah exacly!!!
I mean they literally cut the footage of the last couple of laps to make it look like Norris didn‘t exist and only the Merc‘s were battling Sainz.
That‘s why you always skip the race scenes in DTS and just watch the paddock and behind the scenes stuff which can be interesting.
I thought exactly the same thing
Carlos being too slow to open a gap and had to block the road.*** Fixed it for you.

I know max doesn’t comply with the show so it was a bit expected but this way of displaying the sport is just pathetic.

Just think DTS is not a proper documentary of the season and those misses will be a bit more understandable.

Writing this before the video, I’m glad y’all made this video because I’m so mad about how dirty they did Yuki. They made it look like he didn’t beat any of his teammates when he beat them all, and said that the reason that he stayed was politics LMAO
As a Yuki fan, I'm not surprised the media will do some narrative alteration and make Riccardo the media's chosen one.
This is a very good point 👏
''he beat them all'' not really though
don't know about Lawson Yuki beat him in 1 out of the 5 and yuki got crashed out in 1of the races and DNS on another, and he beat Ricciardo 4-3 and he scored 17 out of the 25 points for his team that season with 15 of them was whilst Lawson and Ricciardo were in the other car.
@@Lynxdevilz Yuki beat them all 16-6 and I’m pretty sure he beat Lawson too
I hate that dts isn't following a linear path. One episode could go from Bahrain too Azerbaijan then the next takes me back to Australia. Its annoying
Not to mention that they forgot a lot of stuff. Especially Qatar and what happened with the Mercs, Oscar’s first W, and Max winning his 3rd WDC.
I would prefer them to build up stories throughout the season. The first episode: car launches, testing, Bahrain, where they would start to build the stories for each team. Depending on what’s happening, they should grab onto each story and tell it further until the end of the season. This would have a natural flow while filming, still following the team's journey along the way
They kinda did thought. They took the biggest stories of the season and ordered them chronologically. Like 1st aston being good, McLaren struggling, and so on till the ferrari vs Mercedes fight at the end of the season
I guess they still follow a team every two weeks, then mount everything overvthe knee.
What I found hilarious was when they used onboard car footage (of the camera facing the driver) from Bahrain, in the last episode where they covered Ferrari’s and Merc’s championship battle in Abi Dhabi. What they basically did was jump from the very end of the season to the very start.
have you noticed, Papa Stroll congratulated James and said if you need anything we are happy to help 🤣.
The best part of DTS is Alex telling Logan how Netflix is going to present the Danny Ricc is back episode and he was pretty much correct :D
They should do 1 episode on the drama within each team. 2 episodes featuring Alpine was BOOOOORIIIINNG...
DTS trolling themselves in the episode where Albon is jokingly story-boarding the Danny Ric storyline to Sergant was a funny moment
I actually liked the Guenther episode because of how they tied it into Williams. It was interesting to see the 2 different styles of team bosses with one moving up the grid and the other staying at rock bottom
Guenther doesn't have sponsors and the money. Williams has backing right now and their new team principle was making upgrades to the car to make faster. Late in the season the straight line speed of Williams were shocking some the other drivers.
My thoughts exactly
How can a driver and team have the most dominant season ever and not a single thing of it is shown
Respect for avoiding rumor-mongering. Talking about a topic under investigation with minimal details is 95% filler and speculations from people who cover it.
I wish that instead of doing an episode about Haas and Williams who weren’t even really fighting at the end of the year that they would have done the episode on the fight for P7 and shown how close it was near the end
I liked that episode actually. I really liked they showed the different leadership styles of Steiner and Vowles. For me it was one of the beter episodes.
Almost no mention to Alonso´s 8 podiums at his 42 years of age... but 2 full episodes dedicated to Alpine. Speechless.
The best part was the f2 grid shot for Silverstone which was funny
While people might not like him, RocketPoweredMohawk showed that there was definite storyline to be made out of the RB year. The contrast between Perez's struggles and Verstappen's success is too staggering to not go into. Also, saying that one of the most successful seasons ever by a driver is not DTS episode worthy is a bit much. Like I get the point and agree that you don't want it to be a season recap, but that would be the case if were talking about something like the 2022 season where, yes, Verstappen was great, but not to the extent of winning a historic 19/22 races in a season.
Love RPM
His video on this was great
RPM goated
I think Netflix knew, us non RB fans were over the Max domination already. But also, like they said, There wasn't really a Arche. People love a underdog, rags to riches, old dog rising out of the ashes, story line. Unfortunately with Max, there is non of that. Just like in the Lewis years, no one would've like to see an episode of him dominating.
There is no negativity around rocketpoweredmohawk he is angel and everyone loves him
Ryan Reynolds told Netflix that from now on drive to survive seasons should have atleast 2 episodes of alpine story cause it's my team and my childrens like to watch it.
I liked it ,the behind the scene nuggets were pretty entertaining and some of the stories that they showed were actually interesting.
This is as much of DTS as I am ever going to watch so thanks for the rundown. I can't believe there have been 6 of these already.
I agree with Matt. It's good, when you love watching every bit of F1 content. But I personally hoped for more. My main issue with DTS is, that it has a great potentional, but o lot of this potentional is just wasted. For example I got really pissed of when race engineer said to a driver "gap 1.5 behind" and there's a rear wing camera of a car being like 0,4s behind, or there were some weird radios during quali. I mean.. I'm not a driver, but I don't think a race engineer talks to his driver every corner of a quali lap. A lot of things like that can really annoy F1 fans. They have all this footage, driver radios and all this amazing stuff, but they often ruin it by trying to overdramatize everything. 6.5/10, once again a lot of wasted potentional unfortunatelly.
Still can’t believe they didn’t do anything with Qatar or Oscar getting his first sprint win before lando got a win, Charles and Hamilton DQ, and the Monaco Quali. They showed Monaco in 3 different episodes and they didn’t even show the best quali of the season. They had the perfect opportunity with the Aston Martin episode
That jumpscare of Danica showing up was unwanted
Thank you so much for weighing in on something that needs evidence before commenting on it... I remember now why I followed you 2 all these years... ou have no idea what that means to some people living in a world where everyone automatically assumes the worst these days.... GENUINENLY thank you Thomas and Matthew
"Why is Alpine so unlikable"
They are French
No they are not investing the money required to have a successful F1 team that simply.
😂😅
Because Ocon is giant douche
Miserable or Misérable
One thing I noticed was that they showed that Perez finished P4 BEHIND Russell at the finish line in Abu Dhabi whereas he actually finished P2 and fell back to P4 after a penalty
They focused on Zak Brown but not Oscar winning sprint? Lol wtf
@TacGKilgore yep exactly like I get it. But they missed close to half of the cool/interesting stuff
The moment i was shocked i didnt see was in the episode about Alpine and Pierre and Esteban where they didnt show the clip of Pierre raging in Japan. I fully expected to see them shove that in for a story
my favourite bit was when alex and logan were in the car and alex was describing how netflix was going to edit danny ric's return and logan was laughing at him THAT WAS A GEM OF A MOMENT
He's done one for the 2024 season on twitter already haha
I felt like every episode was pretty much the same. "Here is a team that is struggling, and everybody is depressed. They want to do better" the end
Guenter in Montreal isn’t even in Montreal pit lane when he’s frustrated with hulk falling down the field. It pans back to GS Look carefully at the pit lane it’s Zandvoort with the sharp right turn exit hahahha
The only thing I would add is that dts brought in loads of new fans. So dts probably took a decision at some point to make it more about capturing new fans than creating extra content enjoyable for hardcore fans.
Yeah... that decision was made at the creation of DTS xD
I actually really enjoyed this season. The episodes almost always showed the most important/dramatic race(s) for the teams, which was not the case in the past years. Also the season itself was a snoozefest, so all in all I consider this season a great success, much better than the actual races.
Really surprised there was basically nothing about Perez’s and Stroll’s struggles. Also can’t believe there’s no episode about Max dominating. Either one would have been better than a second Alpine episode.
Carlos Sainz’s win in a whole of Max domination. Or just some bit of more max in general. - I mean talk about Singapore.. they (redbull) seemed literally frustrated .. even though they had a whole clean sweep the last of the year. That was the only pivotal moment that I really missed in DTS..
would have liked to see a montage of Max winning everything with his theme song on blast lol.
Can we just appreciate how Matt pronounced Entrepreneurs in the intro?
Must have been on the p*ss earlier! 🤣🤣🤣
They didn't even put the most important thing of the season, which is verstappen winning everything 💀✋
because its boring, nobody wants to see that shit💀
@@bruce5971I wanted to see the behind the scenes of perez getting demolished for a whole season
They did give him a small shoutout in the last episode but that's about it lol
Kind of a shame for no real recognition of Red Bull doing a fantastic job and Verstappen owning
@@bruce5971 Speak for yourself
I think the thing with Alpine is that they are sponsored/owned/however by a bunch of famous people& Ryan Reynolds, and RR is kind of tight with Netflix, so that might have been a reason, to give the team some pr...
For me the lack of Red Bull (driver) content was annoying. It's like they mostly ignored the fact that Red Bull was doing something historic till the end.
I agree its better that they have gone back to this format. However i do love the old BBC year in review programs and of course what Floz has done with SIlver wars. But i guess you need a competitive race season to do things like this and make it watchable.
I'm surprised they didn't make more out of the Mercedes battling through the season and Lewis finally hitting George in Qatar, especially given that they made such a big deal of the Alpine 'civil war'. I feel like that could have replaced maybe the second Alpine episode, but I'm also glad they didn't over exaggerate things so...?
Everyone was saying those scenes were made for it, and they didn't make the cut.
Guessing Lewis, George and Toto were asked but didnt give the answers Netflix could create something of. Ocon and Gasly were pretty open about their rivalry.
Despite not having an episode about checo... I felt the few minutes of Checo and De vyres chatting at Monaco about struggling was peak DTS.
sounded like a causual chat that is so intense due to the background context
😂 starting lights off and the race started !!! Then they still use an video shot of an McLaren car on testing with green aero dynamic fluid on it 😅
I thought I was tripping when I saw that😭😭I was like "I swear that's flow-viz paint on the front wing wtf"😭😭
Will Buxton is the worst. The guy said loosing pole is such a huge failure. We all know it was impossible to keep the Redbull behind in Monza.
Matt‘s opening comments are so relatable lol I don’t love DTS but I love F1 so I’m going to watch it anyways. Also massive respect to you guys on the Horner issue. Too many people out there wanting horrible things to be true just because they dislike someone. kudos boys.
I'm bored of lewis going on and on about 2021. It's exhausting and hard to watch.
They baited us all with the “black or red” episode. The Lewis contract one is hilarious now too.
Yep, that’s pure gold
@@ThommyOcho I was waiting for the swerve that never came. Netflix just said “ah **** it!” and pushed the episode out.
Yeah I thought they would atleast put it as a side note at the end of the episode that Lewis ended up signing with Ferrari but nah.
@@ecstasyecs Whats weird is they did it for Steiner not getting a renewal, very odd tbh. I guess itl be in DTS7, I wonder if they will even try and cover all the off season shit.
The problem is that they didn't have a RB episode. It could have focused 60% on Checo and his stress, and compare it to Max's record breaking success. There was/is an obvious episode to make from all that.
10:00 the reason this doesn't really bother me is that sometimes when that stuff happens i don't see it as them trying to make it look like russell is complaining before the first corner, the race start is just like b-roll for the voice over. and then when it comes to the actually important visuals like overtakes they are usually correct
I agreed with yall on
- Perez story line should have been included big time
What i disagree is
- I enjoyed the first Alpine ep, second one gets kinda boring tho
I just watched the first episode and it was outstanding. One of the best audio video content I have ever seen. 44 minutes of looking behind the curtain of the mega rich and hyper competitive. 10/10
I have seen every race since the start of 1984 season and worked at the Australian Grand Prix. To those who are not already F1 fans, I can't think of a better introduction to the pinnacle of competitive human endeavour in all facets.
I got into F1 in 2022 when I walked downstairs and my roommate was watching a race. Supplemented with this channel I got into quick without ever hearing about DTS
Im shocked they didnt make a whole episode on the most dominant driver in f1 history like a montage
Max doesn’t like dts that’s why he rarely appeared this season and last season too.
Can we Hide? Max in Vegas. He did not have to ask because drivetosurvive did not show HIM anyway. I liked this remark because it was about True feelings,.
I agree with a lot of it and also talking about the Zak Brown / Lando golf situ. it might have been slightly scripted or performative but they both go golf together very regularly so it was nice to see that side of their relationship. I also didn't know how far their relationship goes that far back either!
Best moment when George and Lewis were talking about Netflix eavesdropping and George's having his mic on when he was on the toilet. Lewis's laugh!
The wildest part of the editing for me was the diary cams of Charles talking about finally getting to the end of the season and they showed clips of Charles in the mountains… in the winter break BEFORE the start of the season 😂
Not having a feature episode of Oscar in one of the best rookie seasons in history is criminal.
Watching DTS, I wasn't sure Max was going to win the championship🤔
Lawrence clearly paid for EP 1, they tried to make lance look like a superhero. They still wanna try and make Norris an A-hole. where was Piastris Win in the sprint? Etc etc
Drive to survive mixed footage from previous races to make an incident seem more dramatic.
I think its nice, we see a lot more behind the scenes, even though some of it might be forced. But still get to see things we don’t see in the season
It’s kind of ridiculous how they just ignored Max for the whole season except for a 30 second clip in the last episode..
I mean they did the same with Lewis in the first season and no one complained😂😂😂
Because nobody wants to see lewis 😂
@@jasonhenry9440 I don't remember that but Max broke every record and they just ignored him
@@nielsdorhout058 The most popular driver on the grid? Unlikely.
@@jasonhenry9440yeah because during the first seasons the big teams had not agree to be part of the show.
shits thats missing
- fernando alonso
- the entirety of brazil interlagos
- oscar piastri's first win (sprint race)
- alpine losing oscar piastri to mclaren (post trade feels)
- carlos's strat for helping lando norris in SG
- whole qatar race and the insane 42 degrees heat (+ lance stroll shoving his trainer)
- max verstappen breaking records
- sergio perez struggles
- fk you max miami gp
what was useless
- we didnt need to know how richy rich AMR are that was already said in prev seasons
- danica stewart
- alpine in general lol
Danica Patrick. Yes she's useless.
Half of this shit they've done before and they did the heat stuff with Singapore.
I loved the focus on how Vowels is a huge data driven guy. Really displays how he thinks or views the sport.
The story they missed that is kind of similar to Checo's struggles was Lance choking. The had the whole 'Lance diving in pain, what hero' but ignored Lance being a total failure the rest of the season. They had the whole 'Aston Martin v Mclaren for 4th place' and didn't even mention AM dropping to 5th because Lance was rubbish and it was literally Fernando v Mclaren. Other than Logan and Zhou you could have put any other driver in the second Aston seat and they'd have finished 4th easy. Lance was by far the biggest bust/under performer of the season. Is daddy Stroll such a hen that they were worried about putting his little boy in a bad light and making him mad?
What I love is when you're reminded of specific developments during the season that you might have forgotten.
28:54 “spoilers of what?!?” This was so funny to me💗💗 Much love thoight!!
I was definitely expecting a lot more Oscar. Astonishing rookie season, we know he’ll be around for a while so could have been a great story to follow from the start, and SPRINT WIN!! And he’s super popular with fans. Hopefully next season.
It’s like watching the DTS on the 1998 NBA season and not mentioning Michael Jordan at all until the final three minutes
Fun Fact about Danica Patrick: She openly claims she is not a car person, she has made it clear she knows nothing about engines or car designs nor cares about them.
Matt disliking alpine episode shows you how far the brits v french conflict goes
the whole world dislikes the french
They probably needed to swap one of the 2 alpine episodes with one on max and checo
Red Bull probably didn't allow it though
I think it was perfectly fine. It gave me exactly what I was expecting. Would there be stories I would have included they didn't? Yep. But that's fine
ETA: I think covering Perez's story would have been difficult because the most criticism was from his own team when they're having such a dominant year. It makes RBR seem ridiculous to casual fans. Plus i think they're saving it for the upcoming season
Fred being pissed off at the entire F1 for the whole Vegas mess of a track was gold. I was surprised they put that in.
I'm just about to watch s6 now. I felt very very deflated last year after watching s5 and they left it all the most exciting bits in that season. Thanks for the heads up with s6. I'm not expecting much from it but must get through it before next weekend - like a school project looming over me needing to get done so I can relax afterwards.
The DRS strat from Carlos and the whole Qatar weekend are the 2 things i missed from this season of DTS.
I don't really understand why they didn't include those, considering they were huge talking points.
I haven't watched one episode of drive to survive since season four and by reading the comments, I realize I'm not missing out much.
The "overtake available" thing is also nearly 1 to 1 translated in other languages in the subtitles, so they give no emphasis on what's actually being said. In Norwegian, it's literally translated to "you can now overtake". Only when the engineer says "overtake button is available" it makes sense what's meant in English as well as the subtitles.
I had to explain this to my parents watching along and they had no idea it was referring to a button and not the engineer telling the driver that they can overtake now, like they couldn't try to before.
Picture of Leclerc as a saint is so Italian!!!😂😂😂😂 had me dying!!
Of course there will be spoilers, we're talking about fast, aerodynamic cars here.
